Jamaica was an interesting trip. It was one of the stops on the cruise, one of the three islands that we are going to stop at. I’ll wake up tomorrow morning on the coast of Mexico, somewhere, never been really good at geography so I can’t give you much more information than that. After about […]

I’m leaving on a cruise today with my entire extended family on my Mother’s side. I may or may not have online access. Happy New Year to everyone!!!
Dr Phil… *** NOTE *** I never thought I would ever start a blog with those words, but here we are a few days before the turn of the year and I’m starting it with those words. Brace yourself. Melissa, this post will be dedicated to you. was on TV today and he was doing
For Christmas my lovely girlfriend Rachel recorded a song for me. It was one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard. I’ve wanted to hear her voice for a long time now and I have never heard her really sing in public and she won’t sing to me, so this was an amazing
I have heard a number of people ‘complain’ or make statements about how horrible it is that we are taking the Christ out of Christmas. It all started with saying Merry X-Mas. How dare we take the reason for the season out of our greetings! We would sit through sermons upon sermons on how heretical
The way we talk about sin almost all of the time is in terms of harmful or wrong actions. We point at certain ways we do things and we say that is sin and that is not sin. We ask questions like do you think homosexuality is a sin? Do you think it is wrong
It’s been a while since my last post, there is still some discussion going on about biblical inerrancy on the post two before this one, so check it out and participate if you want, its taking some interesting directions. I’m home for Christmas so I’m not in front of my computer (with my beautiful new
I know have RSS Feeds set up for my blog. I didn’t really understand them much until today, but here is what they are. RSS Feeds send titles and links to another program of my site so they can see if its been updated without having to come to the site or to see if
There are a few more posts on the errors and gods comments board that bring up some newer arguments if anyone is interested. Click here
Isn’t one enough? I’m starting up something new; it’s more of an experiment. Instead of a resources page that I originally wanted I’m going to try and keep a second blog. This will be full of all the articles, books, sites etc. that I run into and i will link to. I’m going to keep
I went and saw Chronicles of Narnia tonight, without Rachel, she wasn’t too happy, but such is life. It was a very well done movie; I enjoyed it a lot. There was one thing that stuck out more than anything else through the entire movie. There is no way I could go and watch the
I have different relationships with people all over the world. Some are family, others are friends, others are just ministry contacts and some are just acquaintances. Some I talk to every single day, others weekly, other monthly and still others yearly. Within these relationships I notice how I have changed so much. I notice my
For those that are following, most of the discussion on inerrancy is still happening on the first post. I’m going to be posting more after Monday on different things and such, but stay in the conversation if you can.
Joe sent me to a article by N.T. Wright one of my more favourite scholars. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Here are some things I liked more specifically. Let me offer you a possible model, which is not in fact simply an illustration but actually corresponds, as I shall argue, to some important features of the
I’m having a hard time with all these posts on inerrancy. I guess in my challenges of inerrancy everyone thinks that I automatically default to the bible being errant. I don’t know if I’m comfortable with that either though. My theology, many of my beliefs, my God, my Saviour and even a majority of my
Ok, after Keith’s questions he wants to understand why I can’t see the bible as inerrant, I my as well post this for everyone to read since lots of people seem to be interested in this post. There are a number of reasons. 1. I’m not exactly sure what we are calling inerrant. Is it
All expressions concerning the description of God must never be taken literally; they are simply due to the inadequecy of human language “to make the ear listen to what it can hear.” -Abot de-Rabbi Nathan- After following, and trying to understand, the dialogue that went back and forth on my last blog I have come
I’ve had a few concerned people mention some things about my posts on the bible. Surprisingly the concern was the ‘contradictions’ part of my posts. You can read the entire church series here. I thought I would clarify a bit so people don’t think I’m discrediting the bible by saying it has errors. The point
So my doctor popped me with a few needles to take some of my lifesource away from me and determined that I had mono. So that could either mean a lot more writing for my website or a lot less. I’m not sure which one yet. I realize that maybe a select few people will
Pernell from the FRWY asked a question on his blog a bit ago, and got some interesting responses. Some of them are along the lines of what I was saying about authority. This is the question he asked: What should the role of the pastor be in this new culture in which we find ourselves?
